now, this system is going to be moving from north to south, and let me zoom in even closer, using our storm ranger, you could see kef' got some good rain coming down in novato now, santa rosa. so that line of showers is expected to push through, and then at one point, that cold front is really going to move into this evening, and that's going to bring some heavier rain with it, along with gustier conditions. as far as where the heaviest rain is right now. we're seeing it further off to the north, sonoma, napa, yountville, up through santa rosa as well, but we're also expecting that to continue to trek south. a couple light showers are pushing through san francisco, san mateo, and eventually we'll start to notice the winds also pick up. i'll go more over that time line coming up in about 15 minutes. >> all right, we'll see you in 15, vianey, thanks. we begin with developing news out of san jose. a woman shot and killed and police are looking for her killer. it happened around 5:30 last night at a home on clyda drive.

and $085 million for technology to secure ports of entry. democrats were swift to reject the plan. house speaker nancy pelosi called it a non-starter. senate minority leader chuck schumer said the deal is ineffective and one-sided. california state senator kamala harris also disapproved of the president's offer. as the president made the announcement congressman mark desoulnier hosted a town hall standing room only. members of the audience voiced concerns about the ongoing shutdown and safety concerns of high-profile jobs like tsa agents and air traffic controllers who continue to work without getting paid, but the border was the big topic and there were people who were critical of spending nearly $6 billion on the wall, still others support it. >> i even have a border patrol friend and he told me, i asked him about the wall and you know what he told me? he said instant force

multiplication, in other words, if you have a wall, then you don't need as many people to monitor the area without the wall. >> the real sticking issue is the $5.7 billion for a wall that we need to have fully vetted and the testimony i've heard in hearings is that that's not the best way to secure the border. >> the congressman went on to tell the audience that the money would be better spent on roads and bridges in the bay area rather than along the border. later this morning, chuck todd will discuss how the shutdown isn't just hurting the president, but also democrats as well. he interviews the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani. stay tuned to "meet the press" at 8:00 a.m., after this newscast here on nbc bay area. tens of thousands of people in the bay area alone came together in a show of unity, taking part in the women's march yesterday. nbc bay area sky ranger over san francisco civic center, where more than 40,000 people marched.

forecast. we were talking about how the rain brought this sort of humidity we're not used to here, but it's going to pick up with the winds. >> oh, yes. so it's not a major storm, so i don't want to you get too concerned at home as far as compared to what we saw last week. >> right. >> it was really crazy last week, but it will be just enough to where you're definitely going to see the rain. we're already seeing it on our live cameras around san francisco and the winds will also be picking up. overall, 58 degrees right now in san francisco. we have some rain on the roads. it's cloudy out there and this is what satellite radar looks like right now. this is a storm system that's going to be moving from north to south, which is why you see the majority of that moisture off to the north. we've got some lightning far off to northern california, up through sacramento, but the rain right now is currently really sitting over the north bay, so we've got our storm ranger up and scanning. you can see we've got heavier pockets moving in through novato. if i zoom this up, we just saw this pocket of rain move in through santa rosa. now it's off through yountville and sonoma. napa is up next. we are expecting this to move

further down south. right now, we have some light showers through south san francisco, and we're expecting the time line of this to be as follows. here we go, your hour-by-hour outlook, by 12:30, notice it's very scattered and very light. rain at times and if i fast forward this time line, right at about 6:00, is when we're expected to see that cold front sweep through, and this is where we're seeing periods of moderate to heavy rain as that cold front pushes through, along with the windy conditions. right around 6:00, san francisco, oakland, fairfield and then it continues to track south and right around 7:00/7:30, the south bay will be up next. palo alto, hayward, half moon bay, there goes the timing for your storm. rainy at times. those breezy winds will pick up anywhere between 15, upwards of 30 plus miles per hour and of course, everyone's wondering about the eclipse viewing t begins at 7:34. we will still have some cloud cover but it looks like we may get clearing in the clouds around the time when it is peaking between 9:12 and 9:43, so this may be working out in our favor.

monday morning, the rain clears out. we're not too concerned about heavy downpours during your morning commute but the wind advisory will kick in tonight from 6:00 p.m. through 4:00 a.m. tomorrow. this could cause downed trees, power outages. keep that flashlight handy, clear out your drains and tie down anything that might fly away. coastal flood advisory in effect through about 12:00 and we are expecting to see slightly higher tides early monday morning, and of course, this always brings the concern for minor flooding along the coastline, especially for low-lying areas. snow estimates a winter storm warning is in effect, we're talking about upwards of 18, 20 additional inches of snowfall for the sierra. do not drive up there today. today is not a good day, not at all, not even tomorrow morning. if you're driving back down or driving up, wait until tomorrow evening to make that drive. all right, so high tides, breezy conditions continue through monday. it's a holiday weekweekend, a lf

one pound at birth ... w welcome back. a micro preemie weighs one pound at birth was brought to health thanks to miraculous women. garvin thomas tells the story how these women forever changed the little girl's life in this morning's "bay area proud." >> at el camino hospital in

mountain view they are proud to give their patients the best possible care. they recently took that concept to another level, a team of volunteers stepping in when it mattered most. the know row natal intensive care unit of el camino hospital is a place where modern medicine shines, but even that has its limits. sometimes what is needed is as old as humans themselves. a lesson that was discovered here in the best possible way. >> she's a miracle. >> reporter: in august of 2017, a baby girl arrived at el camino's nicu. months premature, weighing barely a pound, and without a family. her mother had given her up at birth. >> and how is her growth? >> reporter: clinical nurse manager jody charles says her team gave the baby the best care possible, but with only mixed results. >> the biggest deal with these throw-weight birth babies is

growing their brain and she wasn't doing that. she wasn't gaining weight. we gathered at the bedside and all thought what could we do differently? what's missing here, and it seemed to be glaring, it was the human touch piece. >> reporter: the baby they felt needed skin-to-skin contact, but hooked to so many wires and tubes, that wasn't going to be easy, and with no parent, jody was going to need help. so she assembled a team of volunteers from hospital staff, nurses, who no longer worked directly with patients, even a retired nurse now volunteering at the hospital coffee shop, and for the next six weeks, seven days a week, two to three hours a day, these women took turns, holding the baby's skin next to theirs. >> when i first saw her for the first time, she was so vulnerable, it was just so obvious that she needed to, it was going to take a village of people, a team to take care of

her. >> literally a few days of this activity, she started slowly gaining weight. >> reporter: and the more they held her, the fewer medicines and machines she needed. >> there you go! >> reporter: and today, 16 months later, well, see for yourself. sky is now her name, adopted and adored by parents lisa cattarall and tina pendleton. the two had been warned that because of how premature she was, sky might face life-long medical challenges. she has almost none. >> the people at that hospital gave us our daughter. they gave us a healthy child. >> reporter: lisa and tina believe that is due in great part to this group of kind cuddlers, women there for sky, when things looked so bleak, the reason sky's future now looks so bright.

the modified skin-to-skin contact the women did with sky turned out to be so productive that the hospital is now introducing a whole program based around it so they're ready in future to use it when they need it. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> just incredible. beautiful story. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay," coming up a suspected hit-and-run driver keeps driving, even missing a wheel on his car. bizarre chase from the bay bridge all the way down to burlingame. plus, as the government shutdown drags on, more and more federal employees still work without pay, and they're now in need of a helping hand. we'll take to you one show of support this weekend for one group of bay area federal employees.

at 9:12, we might have the majority of that system kind of trickled out and could mean some better viewing conditions if you're looking up at the sky. i'll make sure to post this on twitter. fingers crossed we'll get a great view. >> if you can't see it, our scott budman tweets and puts out great photos of the moon. i rely on him. vianey, all right, we'll see new 15 minutes, thanks. we go inthis half hour with developing news out of san jose. a woman shot and killed and police are looking for her killer. it happened around 5:30 last night at a home on clyda drive. this is in east san jose. this neighborhood is near 680 and capitol expressway and alum rock park. when police responded, they found the woman on the ground suffering from at least one gunshot wound. she was pronounced dead at the scene. neighbors say there was a party going on. >> i just, like people like having fun, there was a party, and then all of a sudden i heard

lawmakers offering temporary protections to nearly a million immigrants. >> this extension will give them access to work permits, social security numbers and protection from deportation. >> reporter: speaking to a room full of constituents at a town hall in lafayette, the congressman appreciates president's friendlier tone but not impressed by the offer. >> the sticking issue is $5.8 billion for a wall we need to have fully vetted. we have the experts to tell us if it's a good investment. what i am hearing and in the testimony i've heard in hearings is that that's not the best way to secure the border. >> reporter: his view is in line with other democrats, including house speaker nancy pelosi who dismissed the president's proposal. some members of the audience voiced support for a border wall. >> i even have a border patrol friend and he told me, i asked him about the wall and you know what he told me? he said instant force multiplication, in other words, if you have a wall, then you don't need as many people to monitor the area without the wall.

>> reporter: desaulnieres told the audience that money would be better spent on roads and bridges instead of a wall. on friday, the supreme court did not take action on the president's appeal to end the daca program. it means dreamers could enjoy another year of protected status until the supreme court reconsiders the appeal next year. sergio quintana, "nbc bay area news." >> just about 25 minutes from now, chuck today will discuss how the shutdown isn't just hurting the president but democrats as well. he interviews the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani. stay tuned to "meet the press" 8:00 a.m. here on nbc bay area after this newscast. they are there for us when there's trouble in the water and yesterday the community was there for them, talking about coast guard members impacted by the government shutdown. no novato members of the pacific strike team picked up free food and supplies. coast guard members say they will be paid eventually.

longest in american welcome back. today marks the 30th day of the government shutdown, the longest in american history. 800,000 federal government employees have been furloughed or are working without pay. 285,000 of them are right here in california. yesterday, president trump and congressional democrats each offered their own proposals to end the shutdown, but what will come of it all? as always, we turn to nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston. this is actually affecting a lot more than those nearly 1 million federal workers. >> yes, that's the great secret a lot of people don't realize. in fact, the numbers are astounding, i mean astounding. in addition to the 800,000 government employees we all hear about, most of the 4.1 million government contractors are not working. we're talking about cafeteria workers, janitors, hospital attenda attendants, as well as the professionals ranging anywhere

from research scientists to agricultural specialists. that comes to nearly 5 million workers, plus their families. >> wow. >> combined, it's likely between 10 million and 20 million americans who are directly impacted by this shutdown, kira. >> obviously, there are a lot of layers here, but why is it so duff for the two sides to find common ground? >> there's some serious principles and values that are at stake here. president trump campaigned, you may recall, on building a wall at the southern border, a wall that would protect americans from illegal immigrants, including drug dealers and other criminals. he's grown impatient with congress, not providing the necessary estimated $25 billion to build that wall, a wall that he initially said would be paid for by mexico. well, guess what? mexico isn't paying a single peso, which leaves trump asking for $5.7 billion for the next phase of the wall construction.

it's important to remember here that, for the first two years of his presidency, republican majorities existed in both the house and the senate, but still no significant funding was provided. >> so it's not just because the democrats really took half of the power just a couple weeks ago. and speaking of, what about them? what about the congressional democrats? why are they so unwilling to accept the president's funding request? >> democrats view the wall as an antiquated form of protection from illegal immigration, the drug runners and other criminals. they point to illegal boarding crossing atempts at record lows. as for drug smuggling, democrats cite u.s. government statistics which say that more than 90% of the illegal drugs brought into the united states come at points of entry, such as airports, seaports, and automobiles that come over the border. what's needed, they say, is

better detection means there, bearing in mind these facts, democrats, they want the money to go for modern technology such as drones, more personnel on the ground, and sophisticated equipment that will work well. nonetheless, they've offered $1.3 billion for construction along with another billion for border protection. >> interesting. well, the president has mentioned multiple times now he could theoretically declare a national emergency, which would then allow him to use federal funds. >> yes. >> allocated for other areas for the wall, why hasn't he done that yet? >> a couple of reasons here. a couple of important reasons. first, there is an excellent chance the courts would declare that move unconstitutional. you know, during the korean war when president truman ordered the government to keep open a steel mill because of a strike, the supreme court declared that he had no such authority. most experts believe that if the supreme court wouldn't allow the president to act that way in a war, he certainly would have no

grounds in a fight over a wall. now, that gets to the second point. democrats and most republicans would be angered by the president determining what should or should not be funded. article one, article one of the constitution gives that right clearly to congress. so even conservatives here don't want the president messing around with the constitution. >> okay, so for anyone who somehow missed yesterday -- >> slept through it. >> because a lot happened just yesterday alone, where do things stand now? >> let's talk about yesterday. along with the, insisting on the $5.7 billion for the next portion of the wall, trump offered three years of security for the 700,000 children of undocumented residents brought here previously, the daca kids. he offered three years of safety for 400,000 people here under temporary protected status, which is placement for people who came here because of threats to their lives or natural disasters in their home

countries. now, democrats looked at it differently. they rejected trump's offer on the grounds that the guarantees to those groups were band-aids without a long-term security and no path to citizenship for the daca kids. however, they offered another billion dollars for infrastructure at ports of entry and more immigration judges, along with that $1.3 billion for border security auoffered earli. that's where they stand now. >> could there be a compromise? >> yes. i think so. i think it's a good possibility for a couple of reasons. look, the next federal payday will be this coming friday, just a few days from now. it's hard to believe that this will drag on beyond that, really, but then again, for the 10 million to 20 million people already impacted, such a huge number, the end can't come soon enough. >> it would be two paydays with no pay. all right, larry, as always, thanks to you, for your expertise. we'll be back with a last look at weather.

it is 7:54. it's sunday, and it's raining. i hope you don't have any plans to be outside today, because we are tracking this rain. 58 degrees right now in san francisco. look at our live cam right now, another thing you're going to notice is that the majority of that rain right now is off to the north. if you live in the south bay, you're not getting the rain yet. if i zoom in a little bit closer, we've got some pretty good pockets pushing in through san francisco right now. we've got our very own storm

ranger up and scanning. look at novato, we've got some showers moving into vallejo. we just had some showers pass through richmond and if i zoom this in closer, you can see we have deeper pockets through there with heavier rain. let's take you to the time line so you can plan out your afternoon. the hour-by-hour outlook right now keeps showers on and off until about 1:00, 2:00 in the afternoon, so it will be very light, not heavy, but then we see it pick up, with heavy rain at times, right around 6:00, that cold front will really start to swoop in, and that's where we get the heavier pockets of rain moving from north to south. napa and san rafael, san francisco, getting the heavier rain first and about an hour later around 7:00, down through the south bay, palo alto, hayward, pushing into san jose, so 7:30, around that hour, we expect to see heavier rain in san jose. now, i know a lot of people are worried about the eclipse that begins at 7:34, the peak is between 9:12 and 9:43. if i fast forward the time line,

you can see how spotty it gets. we may catch some partial clearing in the cloud cover as the system makes its exit. fingers crossed for all of those views. as far as monday morning goes, the morning showers clear out. majority of that rain will stick off to light areas here and there, so wind advisory, this kicks in around 6:00. again, that's around the time that cold front is expected to swoop on through, and those winds, 20 to 30-mile-per-hour gusts, 45 plus miles per hour, this could mean downed trees, power outages of course, so for that evening commute, be aware. coastal flood advisory will also be in place until about 12:00. this could cause some minor flooding especially in low-lying areas for the coastline and we're expecting slightly higher into monday morning, at about 10:53. now, sierra travel, absolutely not recommended for today or early tomorrow morning, as that winter storm warning will remain in place. we're tracking additionally possibly 23 inches of additional

snowfall from what we've already seen and of course, whenever there's a winter storm warning it means the winds are kicking up. if you're worried about what we expect for the work week, great news, it will be breezy down but clearing out once the rain makes its exit and left with an overall nice week ahead, temperatures topping out into the 60s but our overnight lows begin to dip into tuesday and this will bring back the frosty, early morning conditions in the middle of the week. >> wow, a lot going on. vianey, thanks. before we go, we want to tell you about romeo, the world's loneliest frog, as he's known, will soon meet his juliet. romeo is an endangered water frog. he's the only one of his kind in captivity until now. an online dating campaign was dedicated to him. conservationists raised $25,000, no joke, to find him some company. they did find another frog and named her juliet, no pressure here, but scientists are counting on the two to help save their species and fittingly, the

two fogz will merogs will meet valentine's day. >> cute. >> thanks for making us part of your morning. more news at 11:00 and all day on nbcbayarea.com. we'll see you here next weekend. don't miss the grand opening of the new floor & decor

in burlingame. if you have never been to a floor & decor, you have to go to the grand opening. hardwoods, laminates, tile or stone. holy smokes, this place is huge! i'm on a budget and i was able to go to floor & decor and save a lot of money. you will be blown away by this experience. the pros come here, i come here. if you love your wallet, and you love your home, you have to go. floor & decor. now open in burlingame, 101 & broadway in the old gokart racer building.

this sunday, shutdown stalemate. president trump offers temporary protection for some undocumented immigrants but sticks to his principle demand. >> the plan includes $5.7 billion for a strategic deployment of physical barriers or a wall. >> the president says the senate willote on his plan this week, but house speaker nancy pelosi rejects the offer, calling it a nonstarter. plus, moving the goalposts on collusion with russia. >> i never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign. >> how significant is rudy giuliani's new position on possible collusion? my guests this
